Gray
//Maybe things appear gray
Maybe that’s okay
Because when fog flutters away
Love makes its stay with colors coated in the grandeur of gray//
Tears Speak
//Tears speak
When words are foggy photographs
Let your canvas be your cheek
Hide with me until the time has past//
The dance
//An ebb, a flow
A dance so slow
Ever-moving,
Resting still
Here am I,
To abide//
Emmie
//A flame gathers my scattered gaze, she remedies the dark
Holding my sight for ransom
With an incandescent spark
Offering grace, she shows me beauty she masters the dark
Focused on her mystery, I’m guided by her spark//
My chair
//Everyone ought to have a spot.
A place characterized by thought.
Or maybe not.
It could just be a spot, to sit and rot.
But at least it is your own
A nook, a haven, a throne.
A place to be free, a place to sit and see, a spot to simply be//
Mist
//A misty mystery has my eye
Hosting heroes in severed skies
Rocky ridges steeply staring
Toward elusive elegance,
Reappearing.
I can’t see but I can trust
Beyond the mist,
In the mystery,
There is Love//
Sky’s End
//A friend beyond the horizon
Farther than the sky’s end
There, I have a rendezvous
Home bleeding through
As Hope closes in
My friend beyond the horizon//
Ahead
//Look, Wooded glades and a frosty haze, wander forth and find your place
The clearing appearing, mirroring the healing feeling of an open sky ceiling
Is it not freeing? Seeing and breathing in this spacious clearing?//
